Credit to the OP: Raymond Carr ~ our wonderful puppetry director, for hunting out and sharing this footage. You can find him on Intsagram at @ theninjapuppet (you can find this info in the video description but I figured no one reads that x)

Seeing this makes me appreciate so much more the work that goes into professional puppetry. Three people need to work together to bring the character alive in this one shot and it must take tremendous concentration.

[@sheldonmurphy6031]

This is freaking awesome! Loved your short vid with Deet from Dark Crystal, and your crazy beautiful Ma'am!

That girl is moving puppets hands so effortlessly and in sync with the guy

[@DaMoniable]

In japan they have insanely complex puppets that can take 3 or 4 people to operate together. They have to train for many years together, and they almost never change partners, and eventually they together bring to life these puppets with almost no effort and literally no signals or conversation. The old animatronics we used back in the Creature Workshop era were very similar, and sometimes required multiple operators just for the characters face itself, and yet when they work together, its so natural and normal. Its genuinely insane just what goes into puppetry and how much effort, or lack there of, that seems to be required by people who have been in the field for decades. Its like magic.

[@cyberpleb2472]

She's only moving one, the main puppeteer is moving the other. The fact that they are able to coordinate this is very impressive.

Gives new meaning to ‘laying down on the job’

[@DaMoniable]

For those that dont know, the reason why the guy is looking dead on at the camera all serious looking, is because hes actually watching the little television which is a live recording of the puppetry. This is an old tactic that Jim Henson started which was what made puppetry that we know to day possible.

[@cherylkirby9119]

Exactly what I thought of was the Muppets and Jim Henson! This is so 😎 I'm glad that I went back and found it pretty simple. Thank you for sharing this. It's nice to see how it's actually performed and filmed😊❤

[@computersales]

Literally putting his heart and soul into his work. Also bones and muscles too. 😅

[@leannewheeler5351]

He definitely did a mind transfer jutsu into the puppet.

[@blue-jy]

I always wondered how this worked as a kid. I think the magic broke pretty fast for me. But I didn’t know it was this

[@banaynay5844]

Eric was a fantastic! Hope a new seasons coming!

I really loved it! So glad I got to be a part of the Good Day Sunshine gang 🌻

It's such an ear worm... It was written by Tim Minchin 💜

[@EpicDestr0yer]

He looks like he transferred his very soul from his body into the puppet

[@marcesplay5472]

You guys create magic, so amazing❤❤

[@YoungsterBeccy]

Thanks so much for appreciating the magic 🪄🥰

[@robin5973]

This is so cool. I had to watch it a few times to figure out who was doing what. I can't see who's singing though.

[@PneumaNoose]

Ah this reminded me to finish watching this show on Netflix. It’s called ERIC.

That guy is pretty wicked on the bridge.

[@YoungsterBeccy]

He's a brilliant puppeteer called Olly Taylor with a fantastic list of credits to his name! He performed the title character, Eric, in this Netflix series as well as this character you're seeing here.

[@ruthmiale1239]

I want to know- is the puppeteer also SINGING this simultaneously?

[@YG-kk4ey]

Can we get the full song? My youth is calling

[@Samantha-dv4je]

That’s INSANE!!!!!!

[@JinxdOne]

Am I the only one that thinks that the show would actually be more entertaining if we got to see them dragging the puppeteer or at least an adult version where we get to watch it I just want to laugh I'm sorry

[@YG-kk4ey]

This is so awesome

[@thefudgems]

I wanted to see the actual take to see why it had to be reset.
